I think my 2010 15" i7 MacBook Pro is overheating. Today when I was in bootcamp playing the sims 3 my MacBook suddenly went to sleep. I checked the MacBook and it was sper hot. The MacBook was in clamshell mode with a monitor keyboard & Mouse.
Got a tip for us?

i dled the widget which is pretty sick like a convenient activity monitor, umm is says 62f is that a decent temp for a 2007 2.16 c2d?? i am not doing anything right now but web surfing >_<
That's pretty cold. I'm at 145F, just doing a file transfer and surfing this site.
I don't think that's possible. Your Mac wouldn't even get that cold unless you were in ambient temps at or below 62 degrees F (and your computer was off). I'm guessing you're not in this position! Are you sure you aren't reading a celsius temp? Mine has been sitting idle for the last hour and it's at 49C.
62C would put you at about 144F...that sounds a lot more accurate.
hehe i just assumed it was f but it does make more sense to be celsius, rollin 55 now and my room is like 64-66 f depending on how hot the day was (basement bedroom ftw)
If you're referring to iStat Pro, click the small "i" in the top left corner to check your settings.
thanks i am running 182f with diablo2 lod running itunes iphoto and safari, and if feels pretty good =D
haha swet =D it does not feel any warmer then it usuualy does
one questions i do have it says my batteries health is 98% with 118 cycles?? does that mean my battery is practically brand new? i run it plugged in most of the time but i figured after how many years and all of my friends laptops battery dying out years ago i would be atleast 75%???
